Applewood Chef at Home

Love to Cook but Hate to Shop and Chop?

At Applewood, we never stop looking ahead to meet our residents’ evolving needs.

Our Culinary Institute of Applewood (CIA) events bring residents together who like to cook or eat. It’s become a monthly highlight where our Dining Services managers share cuisine trends and techniques, which residents can later prepare at home on their own.

“We’ve created ready-to-cook meal kits for our residents who enjoy cooking at home, but without the hassle of the grocery store, meal prep and a tiresome clean-up,” explains Heath Braunstein, director of Dining Services.

Dinner kits can be ordered by any Applewood resident.

Each meal, available for 1 – 4 people, will provide everything you need to prepare a fresh, home-cooked meal with minimal effort:

• Pre-measured ingredients, including spices
• No cutting or chopping required – ingredients are ready-to-use
• Easy to follow, large-print recipes
• Meat, poultry, seafood and vegetarian entrees’ available
• Average meal prep time is under 15 minutes!

Meal Kits will be billed to the resident’s monthly meal plan.

Kit orders must be placed 48 hours in advance.

Stay tuned for an upcoming demonstration and ordering details coming later this month.
